Ultimate Meat Lovers Pizza Dip Recipe

Ultimate Meat Lovers Pizza Dip served warm with crispy dough chips

Ingredients

4 oz. Cream Cheese, Softened

1/2 cup Pizza Sauce

3/4 cup Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded

1/4 cup Jimmy Dean® Fully Cooked Hardwood Smoked 3/8" Bacon Pieces

1/4 cup Hillshire Farm® Old World Specialties® Italian-Style Sausage, Large Chunk

1/4 cup Hillshire Farm® Cooked Beef Topping, Regular Chunk

1/4 cup Hillshire Farm® Sliced Pepperoni

1 tsp. Italian Seasoning, for Garnish

12 oz. Pizza Dough, Prepared, for Chips

To taste Salt, for the Chips

Four meats, three cheeses, a rich pizza sauce, and a batch of golden, crackling dough chips made to plunge straight into the dip. Pepperoni and bacon bring smoky, salty crunch, sausage and ground beef build a hearty, savory base, then a blanket of gooey mozzarella, sharp cheddar, and creamy cream cheese pulls it all together.

Directions

  1. Spread the softened cream cheese in the bottom of an oven-safe dish.
  2. Top with pizza sauce, then mozzarella cheese.
  3. Scatter the bacon, sausage, beef, and pepperoni evenly over the top.
  4. Bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, until bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  5. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the finished dip.
  6. For the chips: roll out the pizza dough and cut into strips or triangles. Deep fry at 350°F for 2-3 minutes, until golden and crisp. Season lightly with salt.
  7. Serve the dip warm with the dough chips for dunking.
